Table 4-3
Fstab Option Description
Mount by
Volume label A useful name to help you easily identify the volume on the server. By default,
this field is empty.
Mount read-only Select the check box to enable this option. It is deselected (disabled) by default.
If this option is enabled, files and directories cannot be modified or saved on the
volume.
No access time Select the check box to enable this option. It is deselected (disabled) by default.
By default, the Linux open(2) command updates the access time whenever a
file is opened. The No Access Time option disables the updating of access
time, so that reading a file does not update its access time. Enabling the No
Access Time option allows you to back up a volume without modifying the
access times of its files.
Mountable by user Select the check box to enable this option. It is deselected (disabled) by default.
If this option is enabled, the volume can be mounted by any user; root
privileges are not required.
Do Not Mount at Select the check box to enable this option. It is deselected (disabled) by default.
System Start-up
The system volumes such as /boot, swap, and root (/) should all be mounted
at system start. For other volumes, enable this option for a volume if you want
to mount it manually later using the mount command at a terminal console
prompt.
